Hoard of Trade.

Owing to the fact that the city
council occupied Judge Booge's Of
flee last evening the advertised
meeting of the board of trade at that
place did not take place. However
this failure to meet is not Il serious
matter, as the regular session of the
board will be held Monday evening,
the place being Judge BoOge's office.
While on the subject 1t Is well
enough to state that thirty of the
business men have paid the
required $25 each and become men,
bers of the board, while there are
eleven new applications for men,
bership. The new board of trade
starts out under the most favorable
auspices and much good will be ac-
cOmpl!shed by the organization be-
fore the close of the year.

sudden Death.

Wedne esday evening G. d. Robin
inson, worthy and highly respected
citizen of this place died after only
very brief illness. He was en-
gagged at his work as carpenter
Tuesday and while at work tainted
away, and was found in cramped
position unconscious. Although
every effort was made to save the
gentleman's life il was of no avail,
though he regained consciousness,
and he passed away Wednesday
evening. Mr.. Robinson has lived
here some time and was in good cir
cumstances. He was a Knight Tenn
plar, and had served with honor as a
union soldier during the war. The
funeral takes place from the late res.
idence of the deceased at l0:30 this
morning, and from the Presbyterian
church at IL o'clock. The funeral
will be in charge of Cataract Com
mandery No. 3 of this city, and will
be attended by the members of Sedg-
wick Post, G.. A. r..

Alter Him.

1t appears that in the Frank Teller
shooting case man named Smith
figures as party whose presence ir
the family was the direct cause of
the tragedy. 1t was Teller's jeal-
ousy of Smith that undoubtedly led
to the killing. Smith was man
hired by Thos. Dugan, Mrs. Teller's
brother, to work on the ranch, and it
was with Smith that Teller had a
shooting match several days prior to
the killing. Those who visited the
room In which that shooting occur
red are of the opinion that Smith, on
the occasion, did the shooting, as the
marks of five shots from his pistol
are to be seen in the wall and door.
AS Smith disappeared after the kill
ing Of Teller suspicion at once rested
upon him as the murderer of Teller.
So firm Is this belief that large
body of the residents OF that neigh
borhOod are out securing the country
for Smith. A party i'm from Deep
Creek Falls yesterday reports that
the people are worked up to an in
tense state of excitement over the
murder, as they believe it to be,
and that il the man Smith is found
the chances are a thousand to one
that he will be swung up to the near
est limb.

Last night for the first time since
the introduction OF the lncandescent
light the lights were shut off en-.
tirely. For that matter the incan.
descant light might have been shut
off two or three weeks ago for all the
good 1t did as means of illumina-
tion. However there Is less fault
finding than when the lights first
showed signs of weakening, for 1t is
now understood that the company Is
not to blame for the condition Of
things, and further that Mr.. Petit,
the energetic head of the company
has done all within his power for
the benefit of cOnsu mers. He found
himself powerless to mitigate the
evil, in the slightest degree, how
ever, as the high water has caused
the trouble and there was nothing
that could be done to prevent the
encrOachrnent of the river. AS the
prospects are good for an early de-
cline In the flood 1t Is safe to prom
ise that the company will be out of
the present embarrassment in a
short time and better satisfaction
will be given when contemplated d
improvements are made.

The following items from the Sal
mon river mines written for the
Sprague Journal will be of interest
to the people of this city:
SALMON CITY, May 2Sth.
Salmon City is on the banks Of the
SAL river, and is a beautiful
place for a good camp. The mines
are about one and a half miles on the
mountain ranges, and are of easy ac-
cess to get at, as there are good trails
leading from the headquarters to
the mines. New discoveries are be-
ing made every day; and prospectors
are arriving on every stage seeking
new locations.
A sawmill has been run IN here
within the past few days, and is sit
uated on Salmon river, about one
and half miles from Salmon City.
They have commenced work in good
earnest, and are erecting good
plant, and when completed will have
II capacity of about 10000 feet per
day.
There is one good mercantile es-
tablishment which is conducted by
Messrs. Manville d Wilson. These
gentlemen carry all the general sup
plies that are generally called for in
mining camp.
There is also an assayer, Mr.. Bal
lard, and two notary publics; also
one blacksmith shop, conducted by
$. w. johnson, and n good mechanic
he is, too; one butcher shop, which
is well managed by Mr.. Wilcox.
We have met several of the old
Spokane and Lincoln county boys up
here, and they all speak in glowing
terms of this camp as being II sue
| cess.
The camp has lately boasted of IA
first-class physician, by the name Of
DIR. Edwards, an old Spokaneite.
The doctor thinks the boys eat too
much bear meat for his services,
although he has come here to stay
with them. He has taken up the
pick and shovel and Is determined
to find fortune, and has been sue
cessful In finding good lead. We
did not learn the amount of the
assay. This mine has been named
"rhe Portland" There is no doubt
but that it is very rich; we were
shown some of the ore which is very
fine galena.
We met Jim Severson, who for
merly lived in your town. He is
out here prospecting, and thinks he
has struck it rich.

NOT GUILTY.
Such In tho Verdict of the Jury In the
Raymond Case.

Such In tho verdict of the Jury In the
Raymond Case.
After long trial, during which
many witnesses were examined, ana
after an exhaustive argument on
both sides and learned charge by
Judge Turner, the jury In the case
of Ray Raymond, indicted for muir
der i'm the first degree, retired about
half-past O'clock yesterday after
noon. At half-past 7 O'Clock word
was sent to Judge Turner that the
jury had agreed upon verdict.
Court convened and the foreman
handed in a report that the jury had
found n verdict of not guilty. On
Jones the first indictment of murder
in the second degree was dismissed
and the prisoner was discharged.
AS there are many people in Sp0-
kane Falls at the present time not
sumo of the killing may not be out
of place. Between IL and O'Clock
on the morning of June 26, 1886, a
iudu Jus. WIIuC -
state of intOxication, entered the
brick building on the corner Of Front
and Mill streets known as the "Bay
house for immoral purposes by the
defendant i'm the case, Ray Ray
mond. Finch, as the evidence re-
Gently published shows. would not
leave the building and made demon
a., ,I hn
mond. She went to an adjoining
bedroom, secured Il pistol, and after
again ordering him out and receiv-
ing in reply n blow, or an attempt ut
u blow, she fired and the man fell
mortally wounded. He lived only
about an hour. Considerable excite
ment was occasioned at the time
and public opinion was strOug
against the woman. On eXamina-
tion before Judge Peel the prisoner
was bound over without bail. Argu-
ment for bail was heard before Judge
Turner in chambers and she was
admitted to- bail. AT the fall term Of
court the grand jury brought in u
verdict of murder in the second
degree, but the case was put off
Shortly afterwards the defendant
went to Butte and remained there
until within a week before the May
term of court. The late grand jury
found an indictment against her for
murder in the first degree, and upon
that indictment she was tried. She
was defended by Griffitts & Stout
L. N. Cation and f. Parks,
while the prosecution was man
aged by Prosecuting Attor-
ney Jones, assisted by Frank
Graves. The jury consisted entirely
of residents of the county outside Of
Spokane Falls.

The White House mas ueciueu w
make heavy reductions on all sum-
mer goods, particularly wash dress
fabrics, of which they have an
enormous stock which must be dis
posed OF as rapidly rs possible.
The Falls people who INDUCED in
the excursion yesterday owe Gen.
Carlin and the officers of the post a
debt OF gratitude for their many
acts of kindness that they feel they
will hardly ever be able to repay.
Quite goodly crowd of ladies and
gentlemen took passage on the eX-
cursion train to Fort Sherman yes
terday, but the threatening condi-
tion Of the weather had the effect OF
keeping number at home who
would have otherwise made the trip.
Active work on the telephone line
between Belmont and Spokane Falls
will begin next week. With that
completed, G. B. Hopkins will next
turn his attention to extending the
system into the Walla Walla coun.
try and beyond.-COlfax Gazette.
According to the report of the city
engineer, the grading of Third street
will cost, at the lowest bid, some
thing in the neighborhood of $1O9
per lot along that part of the street:
But the Improvement thus made
would enhance the value of prop
erty along the street.
j. Kennedy Stout, who was one of
the excursi0nists to Fort Sherman
yesterday, states that the reports In
regard to the encroachment Of the
water on the parade ground Is erro-
NOUS. The grounds are highland
dry and no great Inconvenience has
been experienced from surplus
water.
Last evening Sam Arthur and
Tom Hayden had a little scraping
match in the Arlington that was
hot and lively while 1t lasted, but
before a great deal of damage was
done to either party, with the eX.
ception Of the waste of considerable
gore that flowed from the latter
party, the crowd interfered and sep
arated the cOmbatants.
A young man by the name of Lee
Fruit, brother of Clay Fruit, of Crab
Creek, died at the hospital Of the
Sacred Heart last night about IL
o'clock. While herding horses on
Crab Creek he contracted pneumo-
mia, which after he came to the hos
pital took on typhoid form. His
age was about % years. He was at
one time express agent at Los An
geles, California. The funeral will
take place to-day at 2 o'clock p. m.
Mr.. Charles f. viii, the young
